Digital Backbone™

Digital Backbone™ combines state-of-the-art software and hardware to control all aspects of a vehicle.

This technology significantly enhances the digital capabilities of electric vehicles, in turn, reducing hardware complexity and manufacturing costs, to optimise the deployment of autonomous driving technology and support the next generation of vehicle architectures to be completely Software Defined.

This software system meets ASIL functional safety requirements for cargo and industrial applications. A combination of software, firmware and electronics that enable level 4/5  automation.

We offer this technology to the broader market and is applicable to any vehicle, from cars and trucks to industrial machines and tractors.

The Digital Backbone™ powers Applied EV's proprietary AV transport platform, the Blanc Robot™.

This enables:

→ Programmable and updatable functions across all hardware, under any situation.

→ Fully redundant systems designed for level 4/5 autonomy, with the ability to interface with any autonomous system.

→ Modular vehicle designs that drive low cost and strong margins through scale.

→ Reduced hardware content leads to a  reduction in the overall vehicle cost.

Functional Safety

The key for autonomous applications

Today’s electric vehicle solutions require future-proofing with autonomous operations in mind.

The Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) is defined by ISO 26262 and is the global standard for functional safety of road vehicles. The standard identifies four levels (A to D), with ASIL D having the highest safety requirements.

Our products are in process to meet the functional safety requirements for cargo and industrial applications certified to ASIL D level.

We aim to be the first control system provider with ASIL D certification for on-road automated passenger vehicles.
